Party Hi Lucy, I was really happy to get your text saying that you’re coming to visit us at the end of the month. I’m very excited, and you’re going to be here at just the right time! On the 29th our town is having its special weekend gala. There is one every year. What’s a gala? Well, it’s like a party but with sports and other events, too. There are lots of different activities. We’re going to join in, so hope you’re ready for some fun! It all starts on Saturday. There’s an opening ceremony in the morning, and after lunch, there are things for kids – like races and games. And at five o’clock there’s a football match – we’re playing against a team from another town.Then in the evening, there’s dancing in the town square. A famous DJ is playing the music! (I can’t say who yet – it’s secret!)

Sunday morning there’s a charity run – it’s about five kilometres. It starts at the town hall and goes past the school and down the High Street to the park, where it finishes. And guess what? I’m running in the race! (Would you like to run, too? think we can get you in – let me know ASAP, OK?) And on Sunday afternoon, there’s a big street party with games and food. It’s going to be great. The only problem is the weather forecast says it’s going to rain, so

going to wear my raincoat. We’re looking forward to seeing you here. Oh, almost forgot! On Sunday evening we’re having a party at our place for my dad’s 50th birthday! We’re going to make it a really special party. Please say you don’t have to leave on Sunday evening! Anyway, let me know more about your plans. When are you arriving on Friday? See you soon, Katy 10

7 Ask students to try to write the words from memory first, before referring back to the texts to check.

8 Go through the first sentence as a class, asking students to explain why the correct answer is cheerful. With stronger classes, you could ask them to complete the gaps from memory before referring back to Exercise 7.

1 brave 2 charming 3 laid-back 4 talented 5 creative 6 active 7 positive

9 Give your own example before students do the task. Encourage them to give reasons for their choice of adjectives.

10 In pairs, students describe the person they admire. Monitor and help as they complete the task.

Homework

Ask students to find a photo of a person they admire and upload the picture. You might like to give them some ideas, e.g., a Paralympian from your country, someone who has overcome adversity. Ask students to research this person. They can use the internet to find out more. Ask students to make a poster that shows their person and to write a short text about why they admire them or why they are admirable. As a follow-up, students can bring the poster to the next class, present it to the class and discuss who is the most admirable.

WHO DO YOU

ADMIRE MOST?

My cousin Renata is an amazing person. She’s 26 and she’s got a little girl, Bruna, aged four. Her husband died three years ago, so she is bringing Bruna up on her own. Renata lives in São Paulo, where she works as a teacher. It’s hard work, but she’s always happy and smiling. Renata’s a keen athlete, too – she’s a very good runner and she trains a lot. She’s already run two halfmarathons, but she hasn’t won a race yet. She hopes to run a marathon one day. Her life isn’t easy, but she always stays positive about everything.

There’s an elderly man who lives near us called Mr Ronay. He’s very charming and I think he’s just incredible. He’s 85 and he has difficulty walking now, but that doesn’t stop him being active and doing the thing he loves most: playing the piano. He has always been a very talented performer. When he was younger, he played concerts all over the world, but he can’t do that any more. Now, he teaches the piano. He gives lessons at home, and he’s just started to give free lessons to neighbourhood kids.

Urgun, 16

There’s a boy at my school called Deming. He’s 15 years old and he can be quiet and shy, but he’s very interesting when you talk to him. He’s also a wonderful artist with an amazing memory – he looks at a building for just a few minutes, then goes away and paints it exactly as it is in real life. He also paints things from his imagination. He’s very creative He has never studied art; he just knows how to draw and paint. He’s already sold a lot of paintings, and he’s just won a place at an art school in Beijing. But he’s very laid-back about the success he’s had.

Li Ju, 16

My best friend’s sister, Anna, is amazing. She’s 13 and she was born with a serious heart problem. She’s already had about ten operations, but she is incredibly brave She knows that there will be more operations, but she doesn’t complain and always seems so cheerful. The problem makes her very weak, so she spends a lot of time in bed or in a wheelchair. But she goes to school when she can, and when she can’t go to school, she studies in hospital or at home. She’s just had another operation, but she’s also just passed all her exams!

Luigi, 15

Ask students to close their books and write down as many of the personality adjectives as they can remember. Students open their books to check answers and spelling. Emotional Development Empathy and relationship skills Shows understanding of other people’s perspectives and feelings.

HUMAN

Moles are small animals that live underground and dig tunnels, looking for food. Sometimes humans also need to be like moles, but for a different reason – to save lives.

In 1985, there was a powerful earthquake in Mexico City. As often happens in earthquakes, many people were buried under fallen buildings and needed help. However, there weren’t enough people to go and help them. So a group of young people decided to form a volunteer group. They started to dig into the rubble to try to find people and get them out. The group, who called themselves (‘the moles’ in Spanish), quickly became well known for their bravery, and they started to travel to help at disaster zones in other places.

Since 1985 Los Topos have helped in places all around the world. At first they only worked in Mexico, but over the years they have been to Nepal, Haiti and the Philippines. In 2001, after the attack on the World Trade Center in New York, they came to the United States for the first time. And they went to Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in 2004, after the terrible tsunami that killed tens of thousands of people. They say that this was the most difficult work they have ever done. In 2017, they helped in Mexico City again, after another serious earthquake. Altogether, they have

3 Read the article quickly. Name … 1 the year Los Topos began: 2 three countries where they have worked: 3 how many of Los Topos have died: 4 1.04 Read and listen to the article again and answer the questions.

1 Where did Los Topos begin? 2 When did Los Topos first work in the US? 3 What did they say about their work in Indonesia? 4 Why don’t they go to every disaster? 5 What kind of training do Los Topos offer?

The group has also grown – people in the group come and go, but on average it has about 40 members. It is very professional and includes doctors and other specialists, such as psychologists and engineers, but they are not paid for their work. They go to disaster areas when local governments and rescue groups cannot manage alone, and they also offer courses for people who want to become rescue workers. Los Topos members themselves pay most of what they need to travel to disaster zones – when they get there, they eat whatever they can and sleep wherever they can. So far, not one member of Los Topos has lost their life – let’s hope that this continues.

Culture note

Mexico City is the capital of Mexico and the most populous city in North America with approximately 8.9 million people in 2009. It is the oldest capital city in the Americas and was founded by the Aztecs in 1325. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. The city is approximately 2,240 metres above sea level and surrounded by mountains and volcanoes that reach over 5,000 metres. The area suffers from a lot of earthquakes.
